What critics are saying

  • Prepaid Solutions stays volatile through late 2026, creating uneven revenue and planning risk.
  • $265 million of 10% notes still burden CPI despite July 2026 redemption.
  • Fiserv can route clients to Entrust, threatening CPI's preferred-partner economics by 2027.

CPI Card Group raises 2026 revenue outlook, reports record H1 free cash flow of $36M

CPI Card Group reported second-quarter revenue growth of 15% to $149 million, up from $130 million year-over-year.

First-half free cash flow reached a record $36 million, compared with $1 million in the prior-year period. Secure Card Solutions revenue increased 17% to $111 million, driven by higher contactless card volumes and a $5 million contribution from Arroweye, acquired in May 2025.

CPI Card Group raises 2026 revenue guidance on contactless card momentum and TRISM acquisition

CPI Card Group reported record first-half revenue growth of 17%, driven by strong demand for contactless cards and personalization solutions. The company raised its full-year revenue guidance to high single digits to low double digits. The firm successfully integrated Arroweye and acquired TRISM, which doubles its addressable market for instant issuance by adding on-premise solutions for large financial institutions. Integrated Paytech revenue growth expectations increased from 15% to approximately 20% for 2026. CPI Card Group achieved record free cash flow of $36 million in the first half through inventory optimization. Full-year free cash flow guidance was raised to $45 million to $50 million. In July 2026, the company redeemed $26.5 million of senior notes, reducing net leverage to 2.7x from 3.6x the previous year. Management expects the Prepaid Solutions segment to remain choppy through late 2026 due to fraud prevention transitions.
